In recent months I have noticed a lot of enthusiasm for VSF 116610.
Everyone says that the VSF is the best of all time.
Some people buy it used in the M2M section at a higher price than the TD.
So I asked myself, is it worth the sacrifice to buy one at all costs?
I collected a few testimonials.
Comparison of two watches, one now forgotten and despised, the other the more emblazoned.
VSF 116610 LN, about 430 dollars.
RXF 116610 LN, $380 approx.
RXF left VSF right comparison:
• date wheel is slightly bolder on the VSF (prefer RXF datewheel it’s perfect)
• seems as the bezel insert is are the same brightness (best in the game In my opinion)
• clasp and bracelet identical ( up there for the best beats noob hands down ARF is probably better can’t quite remember) ZZF is not real 904L so as good as it is it’s just not fair
• sels possibly better on vsf (could just be luck of the draw on both )
• crystal seems the same (amazing)
• both movements are buttery smooth (best 2824 I’ve had and best 3135 I’ve ever had)
There seems to be more flaws on the vsf for my liking so I’m going to stick with my RXF
Vsf has been regulated and runs amazing +1 second per day
VSF or RXF whats the difference?
They are all good in their own way. At this level, it becomes a matter of preference.
- VSF : Best rep 3135 at the moment. Bezel action feels great but it has a good bit of play (which kinda breaks the overall "premium" feeling unfortunately). Best bezel insert. Inconsistent regarding the date wheel (some are too thick, some are great looking). Best crystal. Great looking CGs. Dial printing can be a bit inconsistent, but not really noticeable without magnification. Inconsistent finishing on the hands.
-RXF : Best bang for your buck at this price range. Very similar to the VSF (bezel, insert, crystal...). Nice and smooth 2824 movement. Probably the best 2824 sub imo.
Overall:
- If you don't care about a slightly bolder date font and prioritize a good movement and bezel action/insert : VSF
- If you don't care about the movement but prioritize the look: RXF
